The invoice papers are a document reflecting the individuality of those who participated in the project, in which I was the medium of bringing them all together. I started meeting people in 04.07.2009 in Venice/ Italy. There are 784 people from different nationalities and places who participated in the project. I met them throughout my journey in different places including Venice, Vienna, Jerusalem, Ramallah, the Golan Heights, Munich, Stockholm, Umea, and Rome. I am waiting for a white document!
